But Stefanik\u2019s district is located in a deeply red part of upstate New York, where Republicans are likely guaranteed to win the special election that will take place after she leaves office. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cRepublicans will hold this safe Republican seat as part of a Republican majority in the House that will help deliver on President Trump\u2019s historic mandate,\u201d Ed Cox, the chair of the New York Republican party, said in a statement Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Trump did not say much about the U.N. during his campaign, but has generally advocated for a less interventionist foreign policy. He has also repeatedly questioned the utility of international alliances, including NATO, and he has threatened allies with higher tariffs and said he will not protect them unless they contribute more to their own defense.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has also talked about how he initially wanted to select his eldest daughter, <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/ivanka-trump\">Ivanka Trump<\/a><\/span>, for the role after he was elected the first time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018You would be a great ambassador to the United Nations, United Nations secretary.\u2019 There\u2019d be nobody to compete with her, I tell you,\u201d he said at a Moms for Liberty Summit in August. \u201cShe may be my daughter, but nobody could have competed with her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>___ Amiri reported from Washington.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {\n      FB.init({\n              appId : '870613919693099',\n          xfbml : true,\n          version : 'v2.9'\n      });\n  };\n  (function(d, s, id){\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n     js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\";\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n   }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-united-nations-elise-stefanik-ambassador-2b482fb39a8d6f03d389d27cc8820056\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Rep.
